Entrance Exam
Jin Yuan city, the first city you arrive at when coming into Jin
Long Continent.
It is also the city where the number one Sect in Jin Long
Continent is located at, the Profound Dragon Spirit Sect.
Which is also part of the reason why it is so populated here
today.
Today is when the Entrance Exam for the Sect officially starts.
Although they were supposed to start a few days ago, the deal
with Tian Yi has delayed it a few days due to them having to
change a few things.
Today is when they finally start to test for whether or not you
are qualified to be a Disciple!
But that's not all they were excited about. Instead, they were
excited about what had happened yesterday!
The Profound Dragon Spirit Sect had made an explosive
announcement right before the Entrance Exam.
They announced that whoever can make them impressed from
the Entrance Exam will be granted a Perfect Grade Profound
True Qi Cultivation Pill!
And if you are talented enough, you may even be granted
more! They even had 100 of them to give out!
This news was so explosive and shocking, it even spread to the
other big Continents!
Since when was the Perfect Grade Profound True Qi
Cultivation Pills known for being rare and hard to get, all of
sudden become so normal that it will be a reward for an
Entrance Exam?
Even in some rare cases where the rewards are increased, it
has never been this crazy.
A Perfect Grade Pill that even Pill Master experts have a hard
time making, will be rewarded if they are impressive? What?!
Who didn't want a Perfect Grade Profound True Qi
Cultivation Pill?
The ones that planned on waiting to go next year, instantly ran
for their lives trying to make it in time for the Entrance Exam.
Even other Sect Disciples were ordered to take the Entrance
Exam so they can get a Pill!
The other Continents were dumbfounded at this news.
When did the Profound Dragon Spirit Sect grow a Perfect
Grade Profound True Qi Cultivation Pill garden?
Where the fuck are they getting all these Pills from?!?
Although they were all in an alliance, it did not mean that they
like to see each other grow.
The other Continents, except the Holy Continent, all sent out
spies and experts to see what the hell was going on with Jin
Long Continent's number one Sect.
If Jin Long Continent grew too fast, the others might get
overshadowed.
What was already a populated place, became even more
crowded.
Not even the citizens can walk around without being bumped
or pushed around in the streets.
"Aiya, I can't even walk to my neighborhood's house without
being pushed!"
"Fuck! I can't even see the store in front of my house!"
"Go away! I can't even leave my house!"
Many Citizens cursed.
* * * *
Next, to the Profound Dragon Spirit Sect, there is a small
mountain range, but with no mountains or animals.
They cleared it out for the Entrance Exam that takes place
there every year.
Despite the maximum amount of people it can occupy is
100,000, there is still not enough room for all the people here.
And this is just the first day!
Many people waited there for the Entrance Exam to start.
Out of all these people here, 80% are youngsters around the
age of 11 to 26, while the other 20% are parents who came to
cheer for their child. There is an age limit of who can join and
stay as a disciple.
The oldest you can be when you join is 26.
The oldest you can be a disciple in the Sect is 36.
If you pass the age of 36 but have enough strength, you can
stay as an Elder or Teacher.
"Who do you think will get a Perfect Grade Profound True Qi
Cultivation Pill?"
"How the hell am I supposed to know!"
"Fairy Ying and her brother Xiao Chen will definitely get
one!"
"What about the Bu Family? Bu Ai is pretty close to them."
"The Kan Family's Kan Kong is not bad either."
Everybody chatted among themselves as they killed time.
After a few more hours, the sound of bells can be heard from
the sky.
*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*
The entire area turned silent and looked up to the sky.
"Over there!" Someone pointed to an old man floating in the
sky.
"A Spirit Realm Expert! It's an Elder!"
Everybody was excited. It had finally begun.
* * * *
The Elder floated in the air, glancing at the Mortals beneath
his feet.
He starts to speak, "I am Elder Sie and I will be the head
administrator for today. I will now be giving you the rules of
the Entrance Exam."
"First, your age must be at a minimum of 11 years and you can
not exceed 26 years old."
"Two, there is five different tests you will need to take before
being accepted as a disciple for my Profound Dragon Spirit
Sect."
"Three, you will not cheat! If you are caught cheating, it will
be an instant failure!"
"Four, if you are already in a Sect and plans on taking the
Entrance Exam, I suggest you give up now! If we find out, not
only will we kill you, but we will also kill your whole family
and charge your Sect with trespassing!"
"As long as your age is within limits, we will not care if
you're a beggar or a noble. If you pass all five test, you will be
a disciple of the number one Sect in Jin Long Continent!"
"Last, this is a warning. If you dare to bribe or break the rules
during the Entrance Exam, we have all the rights to kill you!"
After a moment of silence to let them digest the information,
he continues.
"Next I will be talking about the five test that you will be
partaking in."
"The first one is the test of bone age! You may be able to fake
your appearances, but you can't fake how old your bones are!"
"The second test will be your Cultivation. This will let us see
your current Strength and how much talent you have in
Cultivating!"
"The third test will be the test of Spirit Veins. This will let us
see which attributes you are good at, so when the time comes,
we will be able to guide you properly."
Every human and beast were born with a Spirit Vein, but
whether they are good or trash will depend on their fate.
If you have an attribute to your Spirit Veins, then you should
be proud because you are lucky.
If you are not lucky, then you will have a regular Spirit Vein
with no attributes. These with regular Spirit Veins are
considered trash by the society.
Spirit Veins are what determines the kind of Cultivation
Techniques you will be learning. If you have a Fire Attribute
Spirit Vein, you are most talented with fire techniques.
Not only will you be able to learn fire techniques faster, you
will have more resistance to fire and even absorb fire element
Spirit Powers easier.
There are also different ranks for Spirit Veins in the Mortals
Realm.
From Low to High, Mortal Veins, True Veins, Profound Veins,
Heaven Veins.
Most of the Cultivators in the Mortals Realm will have a
Mortal Vein.
Only these with a True Vein can be called a Genius.
These with Profound Veins are extremely rare and if you have
one, you should thank your ancestors.
As for these with a Heaven Veins, you can count them with
one hand in the Mortals Realm.
"The fourth test will test the amount of Pure Spirit Power you
can absorb. If you can absorb at a rate of more than 0.1%, you
can consider yourself a disciple without doing the last test! If
you can absorb more than 0.2%, you can instantly become an
Inner Court Disciple! As for these with a rate of 0.3% and
more… You will be Core Disciple!"
"The final test is the most important… The Test of Souls! If
you are weak hearted or have a weak will, you will have a
weak soul! If you have a weak soul, you will be a trash
Cultivator no matter how good your talent is! How will you
face your enemies with a weak will? How will you kill your
enemies when you are weak hearted? How will you overcome
your Heaven's Tribulation with a weak soul?!"
The Soul is the most important factor for a Cultivator.
If you have a weak Soul, you will also have a weak Divine
Sense.
With a weak Soul, how will you be able to fight the Heaven's
Tribulation when you breakthrough to the next Realm?
"That's all I have to say! All these who want to enter the
Entrance Exam, orderly line up and sign in over there!" He
points to a gigantic building. It was made just for the Entrance
Exam.
"I'll say this again. Do not break the rules or you will face the
consequences!"
After saying that, he flew towards the building where the
Entrance Exam will be held at.
The entire mountain range started to turn noisy.
Some were excited, some were scared, some were worried and
most of them were nervous!
"Good luck, my little girl." A mother encouraged her daughter.
"Son, no matter if you pass or not, I will still be proud of you."
A father patted his son's back.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Ying, go and don't disappoint your parents!
If you can't even pass such a test, you are not worthy of the
title 'Genius'." Xiao Fang said to the pair of siblings in front
of him.
"Yes, father! I swear I will not shame you or mother!" Xiao
Chen said.
"Yes, father! I will pass with flying colors!" Xiao Ying said.
"That's my child." Xiao Hai said.
"Un. I don't know what happened the past few days, but all we
need to know is that your dear mother has finally healed and
that we have made it to the Jin Long Continent." Xiao Fang
said happily.
After being yelled at by his best friend, he went back to check
on his family.
But he was bewildered to find out his whole family did not
remember anything, just like him.
He searched for answers but soon stopped after feeling a bit
scared of the unknown.
What will he do after he finds out? What CAN he do once he
finds out?
After finding out his wife has finally healed, he did not care
about anything else and continued to live on without worrying
about that problem.
Although they still had lingering fears, the Xiao Family writes
it off as an unknown phenomenon.
People started lining up in front of a desk and only 10 people
can go in every 10 minutes.
* * * *
In front of the building, there is a counter that records your
name and age before you go in.
The old man sitting behind the desk looks up and said, "Name
and age?"
"Zhen Bui. age 15" A young man said.
The old man hands him a token with his name on it.
"Next."
"Zhao Zhuo, age 12." The boy said.
The old man hands him a token and repeats this over and over.
He was just a servant, so he had to do this handiwork every
year.
After a few more hours.
He looks up to see a peerless looking female.
"Greetings, Fairy Ying." He stood up and greets.
"Un. Since you already know my name, I am age 17." She
smiles.
The old man blushes, even he is attracted to this young lady.
"Here you go Fairy Ying." He hands over the token with
respect.
"Thank you." She walks into the building.
The next person he sees is her brother, Xiao Chen.
He didn't have time to sit back down and greets, "Greetings,
Young Master Chen."
Xiao Chen smiles and waves his hand, "Sit, don't mind me.
Xiao Chen, age 17."
"Here you go Young Master Chen." He hands over the token.
"Un." Xiao Chen takes the token and nods, following his
sister.
The old man sits back down, "The Xiao Family sure is lucky,
to have a pair of Geniuses." He thought.
"Next." He continues his work.
"Meng Xiang, age 11." A cute little girl said.
The old man looks at her and frowns.
She was wearing a beggar's clothing and even smells funny.
"You… Are you sure you want to do this? Being a Cultivator
is not easy…" He didn't know what to say to her.
"Un. I heard being a Cultivator earns you money." She nods.
"To earn money?" He was dumbfounded by such a reason.
"Yes, my dream is to live a comfortable life without having to
worry about money." She smiles.
"But being a Cultivator is not the only path you can take…"
He said.
"Oh? Then what else can I do?" She asks.
"Uhhhh, I am not too sure myself…" He hesitates.
He didn't want to corrupt this little girl, but he also did not
want her to go down this cruel path.
"Then a Cultivator it is!" She smiles.
"Haaa." The old man gave up and hands her a token.
He watches her as she happily walks into the building singing,
"Money, money, money."
"…" He didn't know what to think and returned to his work.
"Next."
This time it was an ordinary looking young man.
"Finally a normal person." He sighs to himself.
A few minutes later.
"The last one this batch." He thought.
"Name and age?"
"Tian Yi, 18 Years Old." He replies.
"Here." The old man handed him the token and did not bother
with him anymore.
"Thanks." He takes the token and walks into the building with
a smile on his face.
